Cool I will have a play tonight. I use a number of the things now, they make great cathode follower loads, and I want to play with them as a shunt regulator with a valve on top to do the hard work.

If you want or need to change the slope (depending how well it matches a real one, though it can't be that far off), just tweak the '500' number in the formula for G2
BTW re the dynamic resistance, I did a quick calc removing the parallel 470k from 320k and got about 1 Megohms

I found a LTspice model for a speaker in a ported box on the Internet.
Just mostly by Thiele/Small parameters in the first .param line.
If need more complete numbers to fill it in use this web page:
http://www.micka.de/org/en/
Run the .ac analysis, the current through C1 represents SPL.
Run .tran for step response (10 Hz square wave), again looking at C1 current.
To get the impedance against frequency, run the .ac again.
In the trace window, add a new trace (Plot Settings menu) as V(vin)/I(Re). Set the Y axis to linear, and adjust the Ohms scaling as required. Can be quite revealing!
The next logical step might be make a subckt model of the loudspeaker parts to use as the load for your amplifier simulations.

Hi Mike H
Just recently found the suppressor grid play you did with the EF86 on Duncan Morno's models (I think) Nice work. Thanks
How far did you get with extending this to Norman Koren's work?
I have massively extended the Koren tube library Including luftwaffe valves because I like simulating WW2 German avionics in LTspice. Unfortunately I cannot attach it as the system wont let me.
I use a modified version of Norman Korens's matlab program to extract the coefficients for the models and digitizit to extract the data from the data sheets.
